I learned a lot today :) !

This can be improved further!
I felt like I was losing hearing in one ear and the tablet has really bad speakers, so the mix isn't great.

Momo has not been fully configured, so she can be improved further!

Hataori taught me a lot today about using Utan, but most important thing was actually how to edit pitch in Praat. did you know that in the previous version of this cover, one part was off key because the pitch ceiling was too low?! just changing the ceiling fixed it!

I edited the flatten and contour script I have always used to use intensity objects. That means that instead of sharing an mp3 for the sole purpose of using the intensity copy, I can just share the half megabyte intensity file!! (note: the audio file would still be required for the method involving utau unless Hataori redoes the script.)

what is utan? Utan is a new singing synth by @hataori301 which currently uses Praat as its GUI! The focus of Utan is voice copying. think Vocalo, but instead of a tuning mode... it's the entire synth! There are no midis or notes or anything like that - everything comes from the textgrid for timing and the pitch data for... pitch. The engine has nearly no noise and it's so clear and I am very much in love.
